Masurka

English Setter · Female · Senior · 9 years

Masurka arrived at our shelter after the passing of her owner. She is a very fearful dog but allows herself to be petted when one is gentle and patient. She is very food-motivated, which can help create a bond. She is sociable with other dogs, but a respectful dog that respects her space will be essential because she doesn't always feel comfortable at first.

Masurka est arrivée chez nous suite au décès de son propriétaire. C'est une chienne très peureuse mais qui se laisse caresser lorsque l'on est doux et patient. Elle est très gourmande ce qui peut aider pour créer un lien. Elle est sociable avec les autres chiens mais un chien respectueux de son espace sera indispensable car elle n'est pas toujours à l'aise dès le début.

About Masurka

What life with Masurka looks like

Masurka is a senior english setter dog waiting at SPA Château-d'Olonne.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Masurka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Masurka?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Château-d'Olonne handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Masurka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Masurka if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Château-d'Olonne will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Masurka already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Masurka isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA Château-d'Olonne early rather than rehoming privately; they know Masurka and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
